Thanks! Often I begin at the piano, then I shift to Ableton - using a combination of software instruments and samples (from freesound.org or sometimes from my modular system). I often feel my process is too painstaking and iterative - many drafts, many intricate edits in arrangement view. I’ve built a Grid kit and aspire to make music that is more improvisational, less ‘authored’ - though to be honest, the work of revision is gratifying. It’s how I write prose as well.

High on my list of goals for 2017 was finally getting my own Disquiet.com podcast going. And, it’s officially live.

I’ve been integrating the monome into the LZX workflow with some of the new LZX modules, the arc is so fun for slow undulations!
